Registration

Who can register for the GeneDx portal?

Any healthcare provider, or staff in a healthcare office, may register for the portal. All users may place orders. Each person should have their own, unique login. Please do not register “for” someone else in your office.

How do I know if my registration is complete?

If you registered as an ordering provider you may log in and immediately place orders after completing your registration. In the 48 hours until your account is approved, any orders placed will be put under a special temporary account, which can later be transferred to your permanent account. GeneDx does not send an email when the approval process is completed. Please log into the portal to check your status.

Does the physician I order under need to register for the portal?

GeneDx recommends all providers who have an order placed under their name be registered and active in the GeneDx portal. If you work with a physician who does not wish to register, please contact your sales representative and we will provide a form for them to waive access.

I am already a CareEvolve user. Do I still have to register for the GeneDx portal?

Yes. To ensure privacy is maintained we cannot carry over your login information and you must register again. However, we retain all of your historical order and patient data in the portal.

I don’t have an account. Can I still register?

Yes. We will reach out to you about setting up your account details within 48 hours after you register.

How long does registration take?

Placing Orders

How do I place an order?

To place an order on the GeneDx portal you must first be logged in.

Please select a test or tests and then click My Current Order (at the top of the page) when you are ready to begin the order. The GeneDx portal allows you to place an order for a single test, multiple tests run concurrently, or reflex tests.

To indicate a reflex test, drag and drop the test you wish to reflex to underneath the “parent” test. Drag the reflex into the right so it is indented. A message will appear confirming the reflex test.

To complete the order you must complete the required fields – indicated by red type and an asterisk. Once you have selected a test, ordering account and provider, and patient, your order is saved as a draft. At that point, you can stop the order and pick it up later or another person in your office can complete the order later.

How do I complete the Ordering Provider section?

In the Ordering Provider section, first choose the account you wish to use to place the order.

Next, choose an Ordering Provider.

You may also choose an “Additional Reporting Provider” from within the account selected.

You may also enter an Additional reporting provider, with or without a GeneDx account.

If you do not see the ordering provider you are looking for in the dropdown, please email your sales representative or customer service genedx@genedx.com.

I don’t see the right ordering provider under the dropdown. What should I do?

If you see an ordering provider listed who is no longer with your institution, please contact your sales representative to have your account updated.

If you expect to see an ordering provider listed but do not, then that ordering provider should register for the portal, or submit a form to waive access to the portal. Please contact your sales representative for more information.

How do I complete the Patient section?

In the Patient section, please select an existing patient by searching for their name, or add a new patient.

If adding a new patient, you must supply information in the required fields.

If selecting an existing patient, you can choose to make this an add-on order (if a sample exists already at GeneDx) or create a new submission. If you choose an existing patient that has a previous accession, you will be asked if you are supplying a new sample.

If you wish to make changes to an existing patient, click the “Edit” button. Any changes will override previous patient data.

What is a “Draft” order?

An order can be placed in “Draft” status if you do not yet wish to complete it. You must have completed the test selection, ordering account and provider, and patient sections to save the order as a draft. You can filter by “Draft” orders in the My Orders section.

Can I delete my Drafts?

Yes. From the My Orders section, please select the Draft order and click the “Delete Draft” button.

How can I convert my draft order into a full order?

First select the draft order from the My Orders page.

Click “View Draft” to return to it.

Continue with the remaining sections in the order, and click “Place Order” at the bottom of the screen.

How do I make changes to my order after I place it?

At this time, GeneDx can only accept the additional upload of documents after an order has been placed. In an upcoming release we will allow more edits to be made to submitted orders. If you have changes to your order, please contact customer service genedx@genedx.com to initiate the changes needed.

How do I know the lab received my order?

After placing your order, it will be shown as Ordered status on the Order Confirmation page and the My Orders page. You will receive an email notification when the status of your order changes to Specimen Received after the lab has received it. You may elect to receive or opt-out of these notifications if you wish. Please see Email Notifications for more details on customizing your status email notifications.

What is an add-on order, and how do I complete one?

An Add-on Order refers to orders that are placed for an existing patient and sample. To complete an add-on order in the portal:

Select Add-on Order while on the My Current Order page or while in the New Order

Please make sure to choose the same account number that was originally used.

Search for an existing patient by name or accession number to apply the add-on order to their most recent accession.

In the Patient Details section you will be asked if there is to be a new specimen sent, or if the lab should use the existing specimen. Please be sure to indicate no new sample will be sent to ensure the test is treated as an add-on.

Can I place an order with more than one test?

Yes. You may choose multiple tests in your order. Drag and drop the icon next to the test name to indent it for a reflex test. If none are “indented” to indicate a reflex order, they will all be run concurrently.

How do I place a reflex order?

First, choose 2 or more tests in your order.

Orient the tests so the “reflex to” or “child” test is underneath the “parent” test. You can do this by dragging and dropping the test.

Indent the “reflex to” test to the right. A message will appear confirming your choice.

You can rearrange the tests as needed to indicate the reflex status.

Where can I make additional clinical notes for my order?

At the bottom of the clinical information section, there is a free text box where you can enter any relevant notes about your order, up to 500 characters.

Where can I make additional notes about billing in my order?

At the bottom of the payment section, there is a free text box where you can enter any relevant billing notes, up to 500 characters.

Can I select someone in my account to receive a copy of the patient’s results?

You may indicate an individual as an “additional reporting provider” while placing the order in the portal. You may indicate others in your account to receive a notification when results are ready after placing the order.

How do I complete the Clinical Information section?

In the Clinical Information section, please indicate if the patient is affected, and if so, use the checkboxes to enter their clinical information.

Users in the United States must also supply ICD-10 codes for all orders. You can search for and use saved ICD-10 codes. Please see My Account / “What is the “Favorites” section?” for more information.

If you choose to submit other uploaded clinical documents, you may do so in the Documentation section during or after order placement.

How do I complete the Family History section?

In the Family History section, you may use the boxes to enter in relevant family history.

You are welcome to upload a pedigree or other documentation.

Please use the checkboxes to indicate how you will supply the information, and indicate if the patient is adopted or “blood relation” (consanguinity).

How do I complete the Sample section?

In the Sample section, you will have several options for how the lab should expect the sample. Please note, not sending all documentation together can result in a delay starting the test.

A new sample has been obtained by you and will be submitted with the order.

Please answer the required fields about the sample that has been obtained and send in a signed test requisition form with the sample.

A new sample has not yet been obtained by you but will be sent later with the order.

Please send the sample with the portal generated test requisition form and necessary consent. Failure to send all documentation together can result in a delay starting the test.

A new sample has not yet been obtained and you wish to send a kit to the patient.

First, indicate a sample has not been obtained.

Second, choose the sample type the lab should expect.

Third, press “Send Kit” and enter the patient’s information, or choose “Same as Patient info” to prepopulate the patient’s address.

You may send up to 5 kits to one or multiple addresses.

It is important that the patient has the portal generated test requisition form or the patient portal signature form to send in with the kit.

The order is an add-on to an existing sample

If you have chosen an existing patient and the same account number and wish to place an add-on order, please indicate no new sample will be received by the lab and the test will be run with the existing specimen. The lab will receive the add-on order electronically.

How do I get patient consent for the order?

The patient must sign the appropriate consent for the order. Depending on your workflow, if the patient is present when the portal order is completed, please have the patient sign in the designated space on the portal generated test requisition form. If you do not have the portal order complete when the patient is present, you may use our generic portal patient signatures page, found here and also in the Patient section of order entry. Please have the patient sign this form instead of the portal generated test requisition form.

How do I sign the order?

You may e-sign (electronic signature) in the final section of online order entry. You may also sign a print-out of the portal-generated test requisition form.

How do I send a kit to a patient for their order?

There are two ways to send kits. One way is through a supply kit request for you / your practice, found here.
If you wish to send a patient a kit during order entry, please refer to “How do I complete the Sample Section?” for more information.

Can I send in my patient’s sample without the portal order form?

The lab must receive the patient’s specimen with the portal generated test requisition form. Failure to send both will delay testing as we must call to verify the specimen is correct.

Conducting a Benefit Investigation (BI)

Is there an expiration to the benefit investigation (BI)?

GeneDx honors out-of-pocket BI estimates for 3 months. From October 1- December 31st, the expiration date is December 31st. We understand that a patient’s insurance coverage may vary and encourage you to run a new BI if it is expired.

How accurate is the estimated out-of-pocket from the benefit investigation (BI)?

GeneDx uses real-time calculators that factor in the patient’s current insurance coverage and usage to date. We do our best to match this to accurate estimates based on the test code of interest. Please note that estimates are subject to change based on patient insurance usage.

Can I do a benefit investigation (BI) without placing an order?

Yes. You may conduct a BI either by itself, or within an actual order. After conducting a BI only, you may later convert that into a full order.

How do I conduct a benefit investigation (BI)?

Please choose a test or tests for which you would like to obtain a BI. If you have multiple tests, an estimate will be provided for each test separately, and a total sum provided.

From your current order, select either "New Order" or "Benefit Investigation Only”.

If you are conducting a BI only, you will be prompted to add in the ordering provider, patient details, and the insurance sections.

If you are also conducting a full order, the remaining required fields will appear.

Please choose the patient’s insurance from the drop-down menu by entering 2 or more characters in the search field. If you are completing a full order, please use “I don’t see my patient’s insurance listed” if you have trouble finding the plan. An instant Benefit Investigation cannot be requested for an insurance plan not in our insurance list. Customer service will contact you for any additional
information needed to conduct a benefit investigation once the order is placed

Other required fields include Member ID and the person to whom the insurance belongs.

If the patient has secondary insurance, please click “Secondary Insurance” to add it. Please note, we cannot use secondary insurance in the BI estimation.

When you are ready, click “Conduct Benefit Investigation”. You should receive a response within seconds. You may choose to return to or initiate order entry.

If your instant Benefit Investigation fails and you proceed to place an order, a manual BI will be conducted. Results will be available in 3 to 4 days.

When will my patient be contacted about the benefit investigation (BI)?

If you obtain an automatic BI from the portal, please share the information with your patient. GeneDx will still send the patient a letter, even if you do not complete a full order.

If the automatic BI was not successful in the portal, your patient will receive a letter when the manual BI has been completed.

If you have placed an order and the out-of-pocket estimate is greater than $100, we will attempt to call the patient to discuss the amount.

If you have not placed a full order and are looking for a BI only, we will contact you when the manual BI has been completed.

Does GeneDx have a financial assistance program?

GeneDx is proud to offer significant financial assistance to patients whose out-of-pocket estimates are greater than $100. Please call or have your patient call our customer service department after the order is placed to discuss this program. Please allow one business day before contacting customer service.

Can I do a benefit investigation (BI) along with an order?

GeneDx can conduct an automatic BI for most tests. When you choose a test or tests, continue with order entry and choose insurance as a payment option. Select the “Conduct benefit investigation” button. There are some tests and insurance plans for which we cannot conduct an automatic BI, and you will be alerted if this happens. If you were unable to receive an out-of-pocket estimate and continue with the order, the BI process will be conducted manually.

How do I delete a benefit investigation (BI)?

From the “My Orders” section, select the benefit investigation you wish to remove from the portal. Click the “Delete BI” button and confirm you wish to remove it.

I don’t see my patient’s insurance listed

We try to provide a comprehensive list of insurance plans, but some may not be found in our list. Please adjust the search to include other terms or characters in the plan name.
If you are still unable to find the plan and are placing an order, you may check the box that says “If you are unable to find your plan click here” and proceed with entering the information from the card.
If you are unable to find the plan and are doing a BI only, you must enter insurance to proceed. You may choose the closest matching plan, or email GeneDx customer service for more assistance in locating the plan.

The benefit investigation (BI) was not successful. What happens next?

You will see a message indicating that we could not obtain an instant out-of-pocket estimate. GeneDx will begin conducting the BI with the information you submitted through a manual process that can take several business days.

Please note that you must either complete a BI Only, or a full order for this information to be received by our teams. If an order is left in “Draft” status, the BI will not begin.

Are there tests that are ineligible for a benefit investigation (BI)?

GeneDx can perform a benefit investigation on all tests. In the portal, there are three types of tests for which we are unable to obtain an instant benefit investigation and must conduct a manual estimate:

Tests that do not accept insurance as a payment type.

“Custom” tests that vary by gene.

Tests for which we need to review other patient data before providing a BI estimate. (what tests fall in this category?)

Are there insurance plans that are ineligible for a benefit investigation (BI)?

While the majority of insurance plans are eligible for an automatic BI estimate, plans such as Medicare, Medicaid, and TriCare are ineligible.

Can primary and secondary plans be used for a benefit investigation (BI)?

Unfortunately, we can only use the primary insurance plan to obtain an out-of-pocket estimate.

The BI was not successful. What happens next?

You will see a message indicating that we could not obtain an instant out-of-pocket estimate. GeneDx will begin conducting the BI with the information you submitted through a manual process that can take several business days. Please note that you must either complete a BI Only, or a full order for this information to be received by our teams.
